Summit Access & Security buys Top Security Locksmiths and deepens New Jersey reach

Summit Access & Security has acquired Point Pleasant-based Top Security Locksmiths, bringing the New Jersey locksmith and security business under its brand while keeping the local team and location in place. The deal expands Summit’s Mid-Atlantic footprint and preserves service across Monmouth, Ocean and Middlesex counties.

Why it matters: - Summit Access & Security gains a longer-standing New Jersey locksmith operation and widens its footprint across the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions. - Customers in Monmouth, Ocean and Middlesex counties keep access to local mobile locksmith and security service, now backed by a larger platform. - The deal keeps Top Security Locksmiths employees in place, which should reduce disruption for customers and staff.

What happened: - Summit Access & Security acquired Top Security Locksmiths, Inc. of Point Pleasant, New Jersey. - The acquired business will operate under the Summit Access & Security brand. - Summit will keep the Point Pleasant location as a base of operations. - The company’s fleet of service vehicles will continue serving customers throughout Monmouth, Ocean and Middlesex counties. - David C. Rible, CML, CAL, who has owned and operated Top Security Locksmiths since 2022, will remain with the business and continue leading day-to-day operations.

Between the lines: - The acquisition pairs a regional security integrator with a family-run locksmith business that has deep local recognition. - Keeping Rible in charge of daily operations signals a continuity-first approach rather than an immediate reorganization. - The move gives Summit added scale in New Jersey without removing the local brand’s operational base.
